[QUOTE="JohnSe, post: 1525552, member: 225775"] exaggerating for attention's sake? You've seen them on T.V. They may be super models or some other gorgeous female and they lament that guys are just not inclined to ask them on dates. Well we know that the social psychologists believe that physical attractiveness of the opposite sex may be more important to males in their choice of a mate than it is for females. So it would seem like the prettiest females would get the most dates and this lament that they (or at least some) can't, may be an act. Is there such a thing as being TOO pretty? As a guy, I will tell you that some drop dead gorgeous females can be intimidating because I know they can be high maintenance and get away with it. And if I tried to have a long term relationship with her, I'd constantly be having to combat all the other males coming around to steal her away. She might also threaten to have me replaced in a snap if I didn't keep pace with her standards and requirements. The specter of all that keeps me hesitant before I jump into anything more serious than casual friendship or conversation, ergo, I might not ask her on a date for fear of opening the door to that other world of high competition and high expectations. So I can believe that SOME gorgeous women don't get dates, but I have a hard time believing that is the NORM. I think it's more the exception and those who lament need only wear less make-up and stop dressing to the nines all the time. Stay clean and presentable but don't pull out the big guns in your arsenal of attractive things to do to yourself EVERY day. I'm just asking what women think...i.e. those who are gorgeous and believe they get fewer dates than less attractive women, and those NOT so gorgeous but who can see through the claims of attractive women claiming they get no dates. What's the real low-down on this claim "too beautiful to get a date"? [/QUOTE]
